This is not what I meant.
What I meant was, from the experiential point of view, as
Thusness has said, it is not useful to discuss or talk to much
about self-liberation especially to beginners. Because
without the insights into non-duality and emptiness,
self-liberation will only be misunderstood.
Hence, when we guide beginners, we should guide them to
experience the non-conceptual, symbolic-free realm, to touch/have a
direct glimpse of his true nature, and also to guide him to have
the right understanding of Anatta (no-self). Only when the insights
of No-Self and Emptiness has sufficiently penetrated into his
consciousness, can he begin to penetrate self-liberation. When
self-liberation has completely penetrated into his consciousness
totally, he will attain the effortless stage of Non-Meditation or
Non-Practice, which is the 8th Bhumi.
It is important to note what I meant by self-liberation here,
when I talk about self-liberation, Self-liberation does not mean
that a self liberates himself or herself from delusorily valued
thoughts or delusory experiences; what it means is that delusorily
valued thoughts and delusory experiences liberate themselves
spontaneously (which may take place in three main ways). (Source:

The thing is because one word in Buddhism has too many hidden or
subtle meanings, it does not really help beginners. This will only
cause most of them to 分别 and 执著。
The more terms that appear, more terms that are used to explain
that term, the more we lead others further away from the Truth.
Because it is so hard to lead others to really understand
Anatta, emptiness and the self-liberation (in terms of delusional
thoughts and experiences liberating themselves spontaneously) by
words alone to beginners, it's best we stick to explaining in
more elaborate and practical terms what is compassion in both
secular and Buddhist ways, how to show compassion and how to
overcome anger. We can show by example why it is so necessary
to show compassion and where it is so necessary to overcome anger
from both a secular and Buddhist point of view.
